I originally became hooked back in the hubbub of beanie baby craziness. Then looked to the community for those hard-to-fund musical selections. Alas, I thought I had completely rid myself of the addiction...
A couple of things factored into my relapse:

1. Kyle [my Alaskan brother] asked me, *almost condescending* "You don't shop at ebay?"
   
2. We draw names in my mom's family for christmas. I got a great name [to be revealed at a later date], and simply wanted to find something spectacular for the giftee!
